- Places & Travel
This week's guest is an octogenarian whose biography reads like a Boy's Own swashbuckling tale of derring do. Not content with learning to fly with the RAF after WWII, Robert Pooley launched an aviation company after being demobbed from the military and having built that into a world-renowned flying empire, embarked on the little matter of making swords. Of course, there were a few little adventures in-between - like rebuilding a Scottish castle, stone by stone - but that's all water under the bridge. With Nick listening agog, the indomitable Mr Pooley explains his wit and wisdom and why he still loves what he does every single day. Happy Friday folks!
